Hi,
I have a Mesa 7i95 with, so far, 2 stepper motors and encoders and I plan to use it on an old plasma machine.
Already set the software over linuxcnc 2.9 and I got the motors to run (I changed the original servos for some steppers, I know I might go back to servos, but this was what I had around and wanted to try them before spending extra bucks).
Long story short, I got to move in both axis but the enconder of one of the axis (the other is not well configured or wired) never finds the position it seeks. Hope a video explains:
video of my issue
X axis, I did not get the encoder to work.
Y axis, is the one in the video that moves all the time
(Yes, I might have named them the other way around).
Plasma.ini and plasma.hal attached
1- I do not know what to change in order to that motor to stop when searching its position
2- I do not know what I did wrong in the other axis, because it is not reading the encoder.
Could be that some wiring and or encoder to be not working properly...but I do think it is more my mistake in setting the .ini and .hal.
Any piece of advice is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Javier
